In order to receive notifications when
certain shipments of nuclear waste or shipments of irradiated
reactor fuel within or across the boundary of an Indian Tribe’s
reservation, Indian Tribes will submit certifications that Tribal
official or their designee(s) has (or have) taken training on the
handling of safeguards information (SGI) and the Indian Tribe has
the necessary protection measures in place and the Indian Tribe
will protect the SGI. If the Tribal official is designating another
person to receive the advance notifications, information on the
designation will be provided. The Indian Tribe will also provide
the contact information for the Tribal official or the Tribal
official’s designee(s). The Indian Tribe will also provide an
affirmation of the boundaries of the Indian Tribe’s reservation or
the necessary corrections to a map provided by the NRC. The NRC
will also collect the name and contact information for the Indian
Tribe’s emergency response contact(s). The NRC makes this
information available to others, including NRC licensees and
agreement state licensees. NRC licensees will use the information
to comply with the NRC’s regulations that require them to provide
advance notice of certain shipments of radioactive material to
participating Indian Tribes.
This is a new information
collection that would impose an estimated 34.5 hours of annual
burden at a cost of $9,625.50 (34.5 hours x $279/hr.) on federally
recognized Indian Tribal governments that opt-in to receiving
notifications when certain shipments of nuclear waste or shipments
of irradiated reactor fuel occur within or cross the boundary of
their reservations. The information provided is the minimum
necessary to satisfy the Commission’s policy decisions on the
information needed for federally recognized Indian Tribes to opt-in
to receive advance notice of certain shipments of radioactive
material and for the NRC to have confidence that the SGI would be
adequately protected.
